received your letter
thank you for your assiduity in looking up the public stores and your account of the expences attending the same together with your pay
paid as soon in the ensuinig year as the board of treasury will furnish money for that purpose
by no means approve of the two 18 pounders having been taken away by the owners of Hope Furnace
ample proof of the facts alledged ought to have been produced instead of assertions, however respectable
cannon have been delivered either by my order or an order of congress
reputed owners have chosen to proceed in their own mode
call upon them for their proofs and transmit them to me in order that I may take the measures which shall appear proper and necessary
enclose you a copy of Mr. Bowen's letter
asks for two 9 poiunders in lieu of same 18 pounders slated to have been lost in public service
